Page 3 - Design & Installation

Marabese Showroom: Milton Keynes

For our next few blogs, we’ll focus on some of our designer’s favourite bathroom and kitchen redesigns. We’ll start off with Chloe Charteris, who specialises in creating stylish and individual kitchens.

Chloe has worked for 12 years in Kitchen Distribution/Sales and nearly a year and a half as a Kitchen Designer for Marabese. She is based in the Milton Keynes showroom in Wolverton, where she has already designed and completed over 24 kitchens!

She has chosen her own kitchen as her favourite installation, proving that we use our own products and the fitters whom we recommend! 'Daniell & Childs Bathrooms & Kitchens' skillfully fitted this custom-designed kitchen.

All about the stone

The stony look of this bathroom has a natural appearance which could be compared to the beautiful interior of a cave. We have the same tile on the walls and floors – the delightful Choice Ash tile by Pamesa in a 30.3 x 61.3cm format.

Using the same tile throughout was chosen to achieve a coordinated look, with a sense of continuity. The effect is spa-like and minimalistic with the intention to make the small space appear larger. The tiles are an amazing combination of light grey and ash coloured tones which are blended to create an overwhelming natural look!

Perfect for dinner parties

Eat, drink and be happy: This delightful kitchen certainly provides a place for doing just that! Sophie, our Kitchen Designer from Marabese, Milton Keynes, was given the brief to create a kitchen with a sociable space for entertaining and holding dinner parties, and we reckon she’s come up trumps!

Our customer had already selected the gorgeous Dekton Trilium worktop, which combines browns, greys and a deep black to give a rusted look.

Neutral colours: Roomy & bright

This stunning kitchen in Loughton, Milton Keynes is all about space. Space for storage (and lots of it) and space to create countless culinary delights.

Our units are Italian designed, taken from Arredo3’s Kali range. Due to the addition of new finishes, the Kali kitchen has more than 39 looks to choose from ranging from whites to blacks, to stone, wood and even metal effect.

Metallic Impressions

On walking into this elongated bathroom, the eye can’t help but be drawn towards the fabulous décor tiles by Dune. Appropriately named ‘Impressions’, the tile has a cement/stone look base, which is covered in impressionist styled brushstrokes. The enriching copper and rust stripes add a splash of shimmering colour, making the walls an abstract work of art. The accompanying ‘Hipster Metal’ tile also has a metallic effect look in a grey tone with rusty hues. It perfectly complements the Impressions tile and both are sized in the modern large format of 30 x 90cm.

Feature floor: Explosion of patterns

This creative bathroom has unique and intricate designs written all over it… well, specifically on the floor! The eye is instantly drawn to the patterned Odyssey Grande Pentillie tiles as we have opted to keep the rest of the bathroom plainer in comparison.

The walls are covered in Porcelanosa’s Madagascar Natural tiles, which capture the natural stone effect. The soft grey hues add warmth to the room and perfectly complement the patterned tiles below.

Light, airy & clean lines

Light and airy is the name of the game for this charming kitchen in Leighton Buzzard. The bright and cheerful creamy theme is set by the oyster coloured Nova units by Crown Lifestyle. The high gloss cabinets are also available with curved doors should you like to soften the corners, but in this case, we have gone for the uniform look of clean, straight lines.

The Bushboard’s Vanilla Quartz Gloss worktop features a glossy finish with the luxurious sparkle of pearlescence. Apart from looking stunning, it boasts a wealth of qualities including being anti-bacterial, dry heat and scratch resistant, it’s hygienic and easy to clean and is also mould resistant.

Small & dark is beautiful

A common thinking would be to choose a bright colour scheme for a relatively small space however this bathroom has gone against the rules. Besides, whites and metallics, which are a must-have in a bathroom look so much cooler against a dark background!

The wall and floor tiles are from the Interno 9 range by ABK in three different colours: Pearl, Silver and Dark. The gorgeous tile collection has the look of oxidised metals paired with the imitation concrete trend. The delicate finish of the tiles reflects the light, leaving a gentle shimmery surface.

An accent of copper

We’ve all heard the popular saying that the kitchen is the heart of the home; it can certainly be said for this stunning kitchen designed and fitted by our team at Marabese. The focus is on the L-shaped island, where there’s ample space for friends to congregate, help out with the cooking or glance over at the TV screen opposite. The wine is conveniently stored in arm's reach in the nearby large wine cooler, incorporated within the island.
